Chicago Restaurant Opening – Bucktown’s Newest Addition: Pompette
Already known for its great dining scene and tree lined streets, the now open Pompette is one of the newest restaurants the neighborhood of Bucktown has to offer. This city is perfect for the absolute foodie and this new Bucktown cafe is no exception. Led by a team of renowned chefs (who previously worked at Michelin starred Alinea, Elska, and Moody Tongue) this restaurant is a cafe by day, intimate wine bar by night. The menu is French and Italian influenced and features items like the seasonal daily quiche and grilled texas shrimp. For larger plates they offer items off their charcoal grill, we know we’ll be trying the CDK Ranch Bavette with fingerling potato, black trumpets, rapini, salsa verde and beef jus.
Wine is also a star of the menu in itself, with selections from around the world including France, Italy, Spain and Germany, all wines featured will be considered natural (ie no additives and limited manipulation from the winery).
So whether you’re popping in for a quick breakfast (who can turn down a fresh croissant and strong cup of coffee in the morning?!) or stopping by for a glass of wine and a bite to eat on a Friday with a group of friends, this all day cafe and wine bar is sure to please and impress! And if this new restaurant hasn’t sold you on this awesome neighborhood, we’d sure like to try – so give us a call if you’re in the market!
